“What [Paul] wants to teach [the church], over against the reality of sin, is beyond anything else a new basis for self-judgment in its belonging to Christ and having died and been raised with him. As he says in 2 Corinthians 5, that henceforth … he will know no man ‘after the flesh,’ but will understand him as participating in the new aeon and the new creation … The new life of believers is not a matter that can be known or approached out of the inwardness of the spiritual life, but only out of what has taken place in Christ’s death and resurrection. Their life is in Christ [By, Herman N.
